Continuing on from my last post. After a reboot my mouse resumed correct left-handed operation without my having to go back into the system settings.
Here is my xlist after the reboot with my mouse working: (but it looks identical to the non-working state) xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Tripplite B015-000 R0.74 USB to PS2 adapter. id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_2HDM id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Tripplite B015-000 R0.74 USB to PS2 adapter. id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=15 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429277 Title: left-handed mouse no longer working Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “xserver-xorg-input-mouse” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse Since upgrading to Karmic, the left-handed setting for the mouse buttons no longer work.
